[SOLVED] Can't target ipython3.exe console Topic is solved

[freespacing]

For some reason, I'm not able to target the ipython console window, which runs inside of a Windows console.

I have hotkeys for a lot of applications, but none of the usual works.
Maybe a clue: The reason I'm trying to do this in the first place is that Alt+F4 doesn't work on the console window. Neither does Ctrl + W

Here is an example with garbage text.

Code: Select all

; -------------- Hotkeys for ipython3 -----------------
#IfWinActive ahk_exe ipython3.exe 
; nothing I tried works
    !e::  ; at first I tried !F4, then just F4, then just e
        SendInput {Raw}12
        ; Send 23 ; something else I tried
        Return
#IfWinActive
; -------------- End hotkeys for ipython3 -----------------

Here is a WindowsSpy screenshot.


Would anyone be able to offer some insights?

Also tried:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive ahk_exe ipython3.exe 
^w::
   WinClose
Return
#IfWinActive

Nothing happens.
Would anyone happen to have a clue as to why hotkeys don't seem to work in that window?
